What is the difference in size between your micro and mini doodles?
Our micro doodles typically weigh between 10–15 pounds fully grown, and our mini doodles usually range from 15–25 pounds. Because we specialize in these specific sizes, our litters have very predictable and consistent growth! Adult size depends on the parents and specific litter pairing, and we provide estimated size ranges for each litter whenever possible.
We specifically breed for high-quality, hypo-allergenic coats. While no dog is completely non-shedding or 100% hypoallergenic, our doodles are incredibly allergy-friendly and make an excellent choice for families with allergies.
Unlike kennel breeders, our puppies are born and raised right in the heart of our home. From day one, they are gently handled, exposed to normal household noises, and played with by our children. This daily interaction ensures they are confident, affectionate, and fully prepared for family life. Early socialization is a core part of our program to ensure well-rounded companions.
The health of our puppies is our absolute top priority. Before breeding, all of our parent dogs undergo rigorous genetic and structural testing. This ensures we are only passing down the best, healthiest traits so your new companion can enjoy a long, happy life.
